Tilden's Victory In London Tourney
(By AIR MAIL)
W. T. Tilden is 46 years of age, but he still retains a remarkable agility, which makes him one of the most formidable lawn tennis players in the world. Tilden, who won a Wimbledon singles title 19 years ago,, was masterly in his play in the £1500 professional tournament at Olympia, London, and the way he trapped the Ital- lan, G. Palmieri into mistakes in their singles match, was fascinat- ing to the crowd of 2000. ・・
The American's superior court- craft enabled him to win 6-2, 6-1, and part from the beginning of the first set,.there did not appear to be the slightest doubt as to the ulti- mate result. This was Tilden's first singles game in the tournament.
